Kimberly Ann Langwell, a 34-year-old mother, disappeared on July 9, 1999, in Beaumont, Texas. On the day of her disappearance, Kimberly called her teenage daughter around 5:30 p.m., saying she would meet her for dinner around 6:30 p.m. after making a quick stop at a friend's house. However, she never arrived, and her daughter reported her missing. Later that evening, Kimberly's car, a silver 1994 Nissan Altima, was found abandoned in the parking lot of an Eckerd pharmacy on Dowlen Road. Her purse and keys were missing, but her cell phone and makeup were left inside the car. No signs of a struggle were found at the scene.

At the time of her disappearance, Kimberly had been trying to distance herself from her former boyfriend, Terry Rose, who had a history of possessive behavior toward her. Investigations into her case over the years yielded few leads, and foul play was suspected from the start. However, in June 2024, her remains were discovered at a property linked to Rose, leading to his arrest and charges of murder.

Kimberly's case remained unsolved for 25 years, causing deep pain for her family, particularly her daughter. The discovery of her remains brought some closure to the family, though they had to wait years for answers. Rose now faces trial for her murder, marking a significant breakthrough in the case.
